Strength Training
The training effect
Welcome to Cape Ann FHC’s separate program to introduce, develop and educate our current athletes and their families to the concept of strength and conditioning, nutrition and mindfulness. Our goal within The Training Effect programming is to build our athletes confidence inside a weight room, become comfortable with their personal limits and understand the technique and safety requirements to perform compound, multi joint lifts with barbells, free weights and body weight. We train out of Forcefield Athletics in Northborough throughout the entire year and these sessions are coached by Crossfit Level 1 trainer Nate O’Lari. Programming and additional coaching is also performed by club director, Chris Pothier, with his Bachelor’s of Science in Exercise Science, Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and his Crossfit L1 trainer, along with a Crossfit Nutrition Level 1 Course Certificate.
If you are interested in joining The Training Effect, please email Chris Pothier directly so he can add you to our waitlist at CPothier@capeannfhc.com.
